What is culture?

Culture in three aspects, which is a tool, such as the Palace Museum, the Great Wall, guns, scientific instruments, etc.Second, organization system, such as the feudal autocratic system, democracy republican system, etc.Three is the core value system, such as zhouyi theory, theory of Confucian, Taoist, buddhist, western competition theory, and so on.

Since 1840 in the late qing dynasty, due to the backward of China's economy and science and technology tools, has repeatedly by the invasion of western powers to bully, make us countless ancestors lost national self-confidence, think that we are behind the west in what, think everything is good in the west, we don't have a good thing.Actually, what we are not bad, just our culture implements tool level lags behind, the first level in the second level organization system in our country at that time is of the feudal authoritarianism system also lags behind, due to long-term ranking of thought, regard science and technology as "under extremely poor," don't watch depending on technical progress and invention, also caused the technology behind the situation, but with the development of western science and technology seems to be the developing mode of Europe and the United States came to an end, because western high-tech development poses a serious crisis, environmental pollution, resource depletion,The war, plague, brutal competition, moral decay, trust crisis, melting glaciers, natural disasters and so on.Some experts and leaders have to ancient China to seek wisdom.Nobel Prize winners in the world gathered in Paris in 1989 said in a statement: "the human to obtain the sustainable development in the future, to more than 2400 years ago Confucius must seek wisdom."Also said: the world can not live without the Oriental culture, if the lack of the Oriental culture, it will do great harm to the world, so the western psychologist Carl jung said: "if there is a wisdom of human society, the Chinese wisdom of the zhouyi is the only treasure dian".

More and more experience tells us that the third level of our country culture namely Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism and the core value system of zhouyi is not backward, it is our important force in building a harmonious society today.Our today's society is such a big crisis of confidence, belief crisis and disaster, from the late qing dynasty with us later abandoned completely has a close relationship between traditional culture, traditional culture is the soul of a nation, is thousands of years of tested and full, proved to be beneficial to the essence of the national long-term stable development.Discard the traditional culture has two dynasty in history, result is bad, one is the qin dynasty "burying Confucian", the second is the yuan dynasty's brutal rule.The good news is, our country has begun to restore the traditional culture, it is the right thing to do!
